Hello Heidi,
I have researched Vousdens extensively, all with origins in Kent back to the 1500s, possibly 1300s. I have a few Ellen Vousdens amongst them. I would be glad to help if you can tell me names of parents and / or grandparents. Contact me back here or through my
www.vousden.name web site, where I also discuss the origin of the surname.
